Living Soul Senate crossbenchers will move to refer One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts to the High Court if the government hesitates, all but guaranteeing his eligibility will be decided by the court. But Senator Roberts, whose office threatened to report Fairfax Media to police for "stalking" in response to questions over his eligibility, is now delighting in the "unbelievable" increase in his profile the furore has created. "I too believe in the interest of transparency the documents that support Senator Roberts standing in the Senate should be shown, however it will be through appropriate means which does not involve exclusively giving them to a single news source," Senator Hanson's spokesman said. "Next week the Senate will be provided with supporting documents that prove Senator Roberts had renounced his citizenship. "In the meantime, Malcolm Roberts is enjoying the unbelievable spike in public profile. He can't thank you enough." Always a silver lining (he may literally drink collodial silver)

Endman posted:50Mbps is fine. TBH right now if it was 50/50 it would be an incredible waste of money given what the FTTH rollout could have done, but would have been at least a good solid baseline. However all the alternatives routinely fall apart in upload speed, which is a massive chunk of why the NBN was so exciting.

CrazyTolradi posted:Yeah, this is exactly the problem with HFC and FttN, the upload speeds are horrible. Malcolm loves to rant on about the innovative and agile economy, but the poo poo upload speeds we have stymie the gently caress out of content creators and innovators because when you're trying to upload anything that's over 100mb on 1-2mbps, gently caress that for a joke. I do Telehealth stuff, it's even worse trying to perform tests with packets dropping everywhere.

Anything super serious you wouldn't do this way, but what it has the potential to do is save health services millions and millions of dollars, and provide specialist health services to anywhere in Australia. Or it would if rural Australia had anything except laughable internet.

The estate I live in has FTTN and also FTTP and I have marked on the map where the node is located. The purple dots are those in the estate that have FTTP. Considering that FTTP speed is not affected by distance, NBN took a big poo poo on the estate because it looks like there are more FTTP homes closer to the node then the people who are reliant on being close to the node. My synch rate on ADSL2+ was around 20Mbits and now its 32Mbits. Sure its 50% faster than it used to be but I can't help feel that I am now part of a technology ghetto. It certainly is not future proof and the sad thing is our house is only 6 years old and this part of the estate not much older.

It's not the fault of the installers, it is, again, the fault of Mr. Trumbles shitful broadband plan.

NBN is said to be out at my place around October this year, which is surprising considering last year they where saying sometime in 2020. and it looks like they decided to go from FFTD to FTTN, That will be interesting as we had the local Telstra mechanic over a few times to get internet to work, even say the network out here is very lovely and confusingly built. I would imagine more so when the NBN happens

Maybe some horses here and there. But mostly lots and lots of walking. I love thinking about that. Generations over tens of thousands of years walking all the way from Africa to Tasmania

eXXon posted:As much as I appreciate Australian labour laws and wages, suburban Perth blows. I'd rather have a sprawling, lively metropolis than endless fields of sidewalk-less cul-de-sacs and perfectly manicured green lawns that require desalinization plants to keep from wilting in the summer. Also, being thousands of kilometres away from everything starts to gnaw at your psyche after about ohhh I'd say 3-6 months. I'm a Perthite so I definitely agree and I think that was actually a big catalyst in my latent Anglophilia in the first place - I mean half the books and movies and TV shows you ever consume are British, and when you're isolated from the rest of Australian society you start getting cultural cringe real bad. It's sort of odd that I lived in Melbourne three years but still felt determined to go live in London (before gratefully returning to Melbourne). I had this idea that I wanted to live in a big city, and also that the UK and Europe more broadly was "the real world." I also mistakenly wrote Australia off, as a whole, when the only place I'd really properly lived in was suburban Perth. But I think the reality of living in any big city - London, New York, Paris - is harsher than the fantasy. Perth was too small and parochial for me (even in the inner city), London was too big and polluted and miserable and stressful, inner-city Melbourne is just right. For me. I'm sure I could have thrived in London if I lived in Hampstead and made an extra 15,000 quid a year, but the lesson I ended up with was that Melbourne was my goldilocks zone. Anyway I would never discourage any young Australian from going off and chasing their dreams, it's a valuable experience no matter what happens. (Though when I talk to younger people planning to move to the UK these days I recommend they go to a city other than London, because they'll probably have a better time). I can't remember who it was who said you need to live in at least two other countries to understand your own; I definitely needed to live in the UK to stop taking Australia for granted.
